Chapter 114: Lady Mingzhu’s Chrysanthemums! Ying Zheng’s Resonance, Eastern Sovereign of the Yin Yang School Enters the World!
Lady Mingzhu felt a tightness in her chest from her actions.
So irritating!
She felt like she was about to explode!
“Fine, fine, let’s just say it’s not arranged by your master, but by your kind-hearted self, okay?”
Knowing that Lady Hu was fine and her grudge was settled, Humeiren was in a great mood.
She waved her hand to comfort Lady Mingzhu.
“But why did you help us again? Just pity us?”
Humeiren looked at her, full of doubt!
It was understandable for Li Mo to help them.
But Lady Mingzhu taking the initiative to help them, that was truly unexpected.
So Humeiren knew, Li Mo must have spoken!
Lady Mingzhu patted her own chest, calming the waves of anger that rose within.
Took a few deep breaths.
The neckline of her luxurious purple palace dress tightened slightly.
Humeiren stared at her curiously for a while.
“What are you looking at?”
Just as Lady Mingzhu was about to answer her question, she noticed her strange gaze and touched her smooth and rosy cheeks.
“Is there something on my face?”
Humeiren nodded slowly.
“Yes.”
Lady Mingzhu immediately stood up nervously: “What is it? Where’s the mirror here?”
Could it be a pimple?
What if the master touches it next time and finds it disgusting?
Humeiren rolled her eyes and grabbed her, saying, “There’s nothing wrong, just feel like there’s a bit more…”
She thought for a long time about how to describe it, then her eyes lit up.
“More charm, like you have more femininity than before. What supplements did you take?”
Lady Mingzhu looked at her, the corners of her mouth slowly lifting.
Her eyes gleamed. “Really? Am I prettier than before?”
Humeiren nodded.
Although unwilling to admit it, she had to admit it.
Today’s Lady Mingzhu was more gorgeous than yesterday, the day before yesterday, or any other day before!
Her skin was fair and radiant, and her temperament was much more enchanting.
There was a charm in her bones.
“What supplements did you take? Tell me, I’ll take some too.”
Being beautiful is a woman’s nature.
For women like them, they cared even more about their appearance!
Lady Mingzhu couldn’t help but smile proudly, saying, “I won’t tell you.”
This was the gift from the master!
Want it?
It’s not impossible!
As long as you listen to me in the future, I’ll help you!
If I can help the master capture this seductive fox, wouldn’t the master care more about me? Love me more?
Then you, Humeiren, will still have to look at my face!
Lady Mingzhu’s mind was racing with calculations.
But Humeiren just rolled her eyes: “If you won’t say, you won’t say, who cares!”
“I care, I really care!”
Lady Mingzhu looked at her seriously, speaking earnestly!
“Alright, then you can cherish it slowly. Anything else? If not, go quickly to deal with Liu Yi’s matters, if you make a mess of it, be careful the master will spank you.”
Humeiren waved her hand, too lazy to argue with her.
Lady Mingzhu raised an eyebrow.
Already got spanked!
Last night, she got spanked early!
Can’t bear to let go!
But it doesn’t hurt at all, it feels quite comfortable.
Hmph, didn’t expect that, did you, Little Bitch?
Humeiren looked bewildered.
What’s with that smug expression?
“You naturally have something to find me for, why rush me to leave? Are you hiding a man here?”
Lady Mingzhu sat back down, showing no intention of leaving.
Humeiren glared at her. “You’re not far from hiding a man there. What’s the matter?”
Lady Mingzhu was acting very strange today, her attitude towards her was completely different from before.
Lady Mingzhu smiled softly. “Oh dear, I’ve told you not to be so hostile towards me.”
“Since you and the master are so close, dare I do anything to you again?”
“I came here this time to apologize to you.”
Humeiren looked at her incredulously, reaching out to touch her smooth forehead.
“No fever, what nonsense are you talking?”
Lady Mingzhu slapped her hand away impatiently. “No, I mean, what’s wrong with you?”
“Do you have to be treated a certain way by me to feel normal?”
“Do you like being abused?”
“If I whip you a few times, will you feel relieved?”
Humeiren shrugged disdainfully. “You whip me, I’ll let your master whip you.”
Lady Mingzhu suddenly froze.
Then she furrowed her brow in thought. “If you find that enjoyable, it’s not impossible.”
Humeiren was dumbfounded by her words!
“Go on, talk if you have something to say. After that, let your master whip you. I don’t have such a fetish.”
What a strange conversation!
Only you, Mingzhu, could come up with something like this!
Hmm~
Just thinking about it… seems quite exciting!
“Come in, bring my things.”
Lady Mingzhu turned her head and shouted outside the door.
A palace maid entered carrying the flowerpot she had given.
“What’s this?”
Humeiren’s curious gaze fell on the flowerpot.
Lady Mingzhu took it from the maid and asked her to leave.
“This, it’s called Ya Ju, a rare variety known for its elegant fragrance and delicate petals.”
“I know you love flowers, so I specially brought it for you.”
“Consider it my apology for what happened before.”
“In the future, don’t badmouth me to my master, and I won’t provoke you. Let’s be clear, shall we?”
Humeiren looked at her skeptically.
“Did your master scold you?”
She didn’t believe Lady Mingzhu would come to apologize to her without Li Mo saying something.
Lady Mingzhu scratched her head. Li Mo did mention it.
“No, it was last time at the theater.”
“The master warned me afterwards.”
Last time, she retorted Humeiren a few times and got a scolding from Li Mo.
“No wonder, I wondered why you were so kind.”
Humeiren glanced at her faintly, curiously examining the flowers in the flowerpot.
“So, about this flower…”
Lady Mingzhu asked eagerly.
Humeiren thought for a moment, then raised her eyebrows. “Then I’ll accept it!”
Lady Mingzhu’s face lit up instantly.
“That’s more like it. In the future, I won’t provoke you, and you don’t scheme against me.”
Humeiren’s attention was all on the flower. She said casually, “Got it, got it. Look at how you’ve been neglecting this plant, the leaves are all withered.”
“Leave it to me, don’t worry. In a few days, I’ll make sure this chrysanthemum blooms beautifully for you!”
Lady Mingzhu rested her chin on her hand, looking at her across the table.
Yes, the more beautiful and grand it blooms, the better!
…
Xianyang.
In the Xianyang Palace, several thick books were placed on Ying Zheng’s desk.
These were the books he had bought during his recent travels.
At the moment, he was concentrating on reading the latest one he had acquired.
Gai Nie stood motionless next to him, leaning against the screen like an immovable rock.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound.
Gai Nie opened his eyes abruptly.
He realized it was Ying Zheng making the sound as he stood up suddenly.
Ying Zheng tightly clenched the book he had just finished reading, a rare solemn expression appearing between his brows and eyes.
He paced back and forth in the room for a few rounds, then suddenly stopped. “Gai Nie, I ask you, what is spirit to you, as swordsmen?”
Gai Nie moved his lips slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, “With a sword in hand, one can go anywhere in the world.”
Ying Zheng shook his head slowly. “Not enough, far from enough.”
“Three million sword immortals in the sky, even they would lower their heads when they see me. Is that enough spirit?”
Gai Nie suddenly froze.
He repeated in a daze, “Three million sword immortals in the sky, even they would lower their heads when they see me…”
His gaze gradually became deep, as if immersed in the meaning of these words.
“Spirit!”
After a long while, he finally answered.
Ying Zheng continued, “Then let me ask you again, what is courage?”
Gai Nie muttered, “Courage, with a sword…”
Before he finished speaking, Ying Zheng knew what he wanted to say.
He waved his hand. “No.”
“Not until a commoner has no fear, dares to make heaven and earth plunge into the sea! Is that enough courage?”
Gai Nie’s gaze suddenly became sharp.
He looked down at the coarse cloth blue shirt he was wearing, silent!
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, “Has it struck a chord with you?”
Gai Nie immediately saluted. “I dare not.”
Ying Zheng waved his hand. “No need to be afraid. I understand.”
“Because it has also struck a chord with me.”
He took out the book he had been holding behind him and said solemnly, “Not only this, I also ask you, do you know how a generation of kings should be?”
This question, Gai Nie dared not answer.
Because right or wrong, it involved disrespect.
Ying Zheng sensed his concern and said directly, “Let me tell you. Right or wrong, good or bad, history will judge. Good and evil will be weighed by the king of hell!”
“A generation of kings should be like this!”
Ying Zheng suddenly exuded an unparalleled domineering aura.
“Even if the sins are in the present, if achievements last for a thousand years, what then?”
“If a king hesitates in his actions, how can he intimidate the world?”
“When there is a decision to be made, make it decisively! When there is strength to be shown, show it!”
“This is the way of a king!”
He tightly clenched the book in his hand, unprecedentedly excited.
The questions he had just asked Gai Nie had struck a chord in his heart!
Gai Nie’s gaze fell on the book in his hand.
A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Obviously, Ying Zheng was deeply moved by the words in this book!
Who is this person, who can resonate with a king with just a few words?
Suddenly, Ying Zheng took a deep breath.
There was a hint of desolation in his tone.
In a low and slow voice, he said, “Gai Nie, do you know what loneliness is?”
Gai Nie looked again at the sword in his hand.
As long as there was a sword, he was not alone.
Therefore, he couldn’t understand!
Ying Zheng gritted his teeth, a resolute look in his eyes.
“I am alone, alone.”
“Half a lifetime of warfare for fifty years, telling my grand ambitions to the mountain ghosts! That is loneliness!”
“Ruling over the world, supreme, yet no one can understand my current situation, no one can know my loneliness.”
In the eyes of the world.
He was the lofty Emperor of Qin.
But only he knew that the current Emperor of Qin, he couldn’t even utter a word in court!
Even though he had lofty ambitions in his heart, there was nowhere to display them, and no one to confide in!
This was his current loneliness!
Ying Zheng closed his eyes, raised his head, and exhaled a long breath.
Long and drawn out.
As if trying to release all the oppression and frustration in his heart with this breath.
Gai Nie stood silently by his side.
He didn’t understand these things.
All he could do was to do his utmost to keep Ying Zheng safe in this whirlpool!
Suddenly, Ying Zheng opened his eyes!
His sharp gaze seemed to pierce through the roof in front of him, breaking through the prison that held him captive.
The fingers tightly clutching the book trembled from exertion!
He lifted the book in his hand and said solemnly, “Gai Nie, I want to see him!”
***
The Yin Yang School.
The Yin Yang School belonged to the Taoist lineage five hundred years ago.
Later, it became independent and formed its own faction, taking a divergent path in pursuit of the limit between heaven and man.
Therefore, the techniques and skills of the Yin Yang School were famous for their immense power.
Talents emerged generation after generation!
Among them, the most feared by the martial world was not the cruel and bloodthirsty Great Lord of Destiny, nor the unfathomable East Emperor Taiyi.
But a woman.
A very beautiful, very gentle, yet extremely cold woman!
The East Sovereign of the Yin Yang School!
Her position was second only to the East Emperor Taiyi.
Her strength was also unfathomable!
Even the Right Guardian, the Moon Goddess, was somewhat wary of her.
Some say she is not weaker than the Nameless in the Empire of Wei.
Some speculate that she may have reached the same realm of transcendence as the East Emperor Taiyi!
She appeared dignified and gentle on the surface, her beauty unparalleled.
But in reality, she was inscrutable and ruthless.
Unachieved goals may be sacrificed without hesitation.
In her eyes, life seems to be something dispensable.
She has become so indifferent to the point of lacking emotions altogether.
In a secluded courtyard of the Yin Yang School.
A woman dressed in a black and yellow long dress stood under the scorching sun.
The blazing sunlight fell unobstructed on her.
With a graceful and voluptuous figure, her fair and dazzling skin gleamed in the sunlight.
Like the dazzling sun in the sky.
Her dignified and noble demeanor made people dare not disrespect her.
Her peerlessly beautiful appearance exuded an aura of elegance and charm.
A gentle smile played at the corners of her mouth, giving her a warm and gentle appearance.
“That day watching the snow, you never looked at me, and I never looked at the snow.”
She looked at the book in her hand, and her rosy lips murmured softly.
As if the sentence from the book had stirred up sweetness in her heart.
But suddenly!
Her tender smile suddenly turned sinister.
Clearly in the scorching noon, it sent shivers down one’s spine.
“If you are indifferent to me, then why waste time? Foolishness, killing is the answer.”
On her fair fingers, the bright red nails lightly brushed over the words.
As if tracing the other’s neck.
Her indifferent gaze was like a stagnant pool, terrifying.
“Greetings… greetings to the East Sovereign.”
A seductive and graceful figure walked into the courtyard.
Just as the Great Lord of Destiny entered the courtyard, she saw the eerie smile of the East Sovereign.
Even someone like her, who enjoyed killing, couldn’t help but shiver.
Yan Fei closed the book in her hand called “In the Snow”.
Turning around slowly, she gracefully asked, “What’s the matter?”
The Great Lord of Destiny lowered her head, unable to meet her gaze directly.
“By the order of the East Emperor, I request the East Sovereign to investigate the clues of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions in the mortal world.”
The East Emperor Taiyi said “dispatch,” but the Great Lord of Destiny dared not convey it like that to her, so she had to use “request.”
The East Sovereign nodded gently, her voice as soft as a gentle stream, saying, “Understood. Go and tell the East Emperor Taiyi, if the matter is handed over to me, he shouldn’t ask too many questions.”
Yan Jun, the Martial Temple, the Temple of Lacquer, and the Six Departments of Wine and Clothes.
The Great Lord of Destiny swallowed her saliva, looking bitter.
Isn’t this just making things difficult for her!
She didn’t dare to speak disrespectfully to the East Sovereign, so how could she convey it like that to the East Emperor Taiyi? How troublesome!
